Beet Berry Waffles
These gluten-free, cardamom and cinnamon-laced Beet Berry Waffles can be whipped up in the blender – and with a healthy dose of beets and berries, they are a perfect way to get your day started!
The dictionary defines “adore” as: “to love or admire very much,” “to like or desire very much,” “to worship or honor as a deity,” and/or “to regard with loving admiration and devotion” – and these all fittingly describe my feelings towards beets!
Yes, the humble, sometimes just plain gnarly, beetroot, holds a special place in my heart. And – as fate may have it, it just so happens to be good for my old ticker and other bits and pieces of me as well!
I understand that you might not entertain the same feelings towards beets as I do and for that I’m truly sorry.
But maybe if you happened to try these Beet Berry Waffles or moist and delicious Beet Chocolate Oatmeal Cake or Beet Soup, you might change your mind?!

Are you a messy cook? If not, please teach me your neat ways!
What foods would you say you “adore”?
Mmm stacks on stacks on stacks a.k.a. the ONLY way waffles should be served – looks delish! In terms of being a messy cook, I try to be efficient about it i.e. clean up as I go along wherever possible. The absolute worst is to be left with a big fat mess to clean up in the end. Aside from waffles, other foods that I ‘adore’ include peanut butter, chocolate & Greek yogurt…and blueberries especially of late!
Your beet recipes are always amazing Shashi! This is no exception 🙂
I’m somewhat of a messy cook. When it comes to dishes, I try to minimize for clean up purposes. But when it comes to actual messes, I just know I’m going to have to clean the countertop a few times! I feel like it comes with the job! Thank you so much for sharing such a delicious recipe!
Girl, this is so creative!! I love your love for beets!!
Wow, these beet berry waffles look amazing! I’m so impressed that they’re gluten free too! Meanwhile… the stains… the beet stains! What a side effect, as you call it, of “beet adoration.” You’re hilarious, btw. 😉 I also just read in one of the comments that your sister convinced you to just bleach the stains out… Lol. Yup, I remember a few times of having that go awry on me as well. 😉 Glad you found a great solution to keep your beet adoration from ruining your entire wardrobe, Shashi. Pinning this! 😉
If Shout is the bomb diggity, then I be needing that ASAP. And not only beet stains, but how about Brick Street Chocolate Ganache??? Better take your spray bottle along for Saturday, girl. Have a fab time, you two, and I’ll be thinking of you. Do explore some, such a great area. I miss it. Hope the sun will be shining on you. xo
Allie – prior to Shout, my sis convinced me to just bleach the heck out of those beet stained tshirts, even resorting to make patterns with bleach to rectify bleach-jobs-gone-wrong – mindblowing to think I could have avoided it all with a little bit of Shout! 🙂
Thanks lady – so wish you were gonna be there – but, I will be sure to eat a piece for you – yup, exploring is definitely on the agenda!
Hope you and all your boys have a wonderful weekend and Charlie had a great birthday! xoxo
i love beets but they are TERRIFYING to me, because i never know what they’re gonna get on haha. these waffles look so great though. def want to give them a try
Haha – you sure are right Beverley! BTW – thanks bunches for your comment and stopping by.
There she goes again with the beets..but I have to admit that these waffles look spectacular. So spectacular it doesn’t even look like there’s beet puree involved. I might have to try these bad boys myself #beettrust?
#BEETTRUST!!!!
Duuuuuude!!! Beet hating is so not awesmazing my NYC friend! 🙂
Hope ya have a wonderful weekend Mike!
I meant to get beets at the store last week for hummus, but totally forgot. I’ll have to make sure I get some this week so I can make it and these waffles – they look so phenomenal 🙂
I think beets must be in season, I’ve been lucking out and getting some really fresh ones recently – BTW Thanks so much Megan!
I love the berry beet combination especially the way you’ve paired them with waffles. I’m a pretty clean cook for the most part but beets are always a bit messy!
Thanks so much Sylvie! I need your clean-cooking tips for sure! 🙂
That’s an interesting tip about the tapioca flour
Thanks Tandy!
These waffles are too die for!!!! I can believe they have beets! I’m seeing beets everywhere nowadays, hidden in so many great dishes like this one. Last night at a restaurant we were served beet whipped cream over avocado ice cream. Crazy right?
OH WOW!!!That beet whipped cream sounds phenomenal! MJ, you are making me hungry and I just had dinner!
BTW – Thanks so much!
I would LOVE to start my days with these!!
I know right?! 🙂
Thanks so much Taylor!
Beets hold a special place in my heart too! I love em’! Berries and beets go sooo well together – these must be delicious!!
Thanks so much Ashley! Yes, beets and berries are like chocolate and PB – ooh wait, beets + berries + chocolate > chocolate + PB NO LIE! 🙂
Lol, I’m messy in the kitchen too, Shashi!! Shoot, I’m also a messy eater… I swear more food ends up in my hair than in my mouth. 😉 And I happen to adore beets as well! These waffles are so pretty and I bet they taste delicious! Loving the combo of beets and berries in here! Perfect for a spring or summer breakfast! Nom Nom Nom!! Cheers, my dear! xo
Hahaha – Cheyanne, just yesterday evening my daughter picked something out of her hair, put it in her mouth and said “mmm that was from lunch and it still tasted good” WTHECK???? I dunno where she gets it!
🙂
BTW – Thanks so much dear – I hope THIS is the weekend when you give those snotty monsters the boot – they’ve taken up residence way too long! Hope your weekend is H-A-P-P-Y!!! XO
The best kinda of stains are beet stains (and turmeric!) 😉
